Podría estar mejor/Could be better

Customer Rating:

Recién comencé mi residencia en Genética Médica y uno de los libros recomendados es este. Sinceramente pensé que estaría mejor, lo compré sin revisar antes cualquiera de sus ediciones; aunque el libro hace revisión de un buen número de enfermedades genéticas, la información contenida en cada una es muy pobre, y no ayuda mucho en el estudio a menos que se quiera una revisión rápida de algo ya leído más ampliamente. Preferiría comprar otro por ese precio o algo más caro pero mejor.

Good resource material for clinical genetics

Customer Rating:

Nice guidebook to have to help you study cases of human malformation. Each syndrome comes with text information and corresponding pictures. The pictures help you relate a particular syndrome with actual patients. It also has an index which shows some of the more common dysmorphic features that you may see and lists the syndromes that usually present with these features. The only drawback is that the information about some syndromes are sometimes lacking, so you will need another reference to expound on these cases.

Indispensable	Customer Rating:
Smith's Recognizable Patterns Of Human Malformation has always been one of the best textbooks for those health professionals who study and work on diagnosis or research in dismorphology, mainly pediatricians, pathologists and geneticists. Its 6th edition is 100% improved regarding illustrations, with nice color pictures as well as updated references and new concepts. Indispensable.
